-----------------------------------------


I'm going to mark this as won't-fix. I've added tests to WSS4J that verify that it's possible to send a blank password:

<wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="UsernameToken-15" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
    <wsse:Username>emptyuser</wsse:Username>
    <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText"/>
</wsse:UsernameToken>

> for noraml user name token password mechanism
> if client sets:
> user name = "user1"
> password="" // empty string
> Then WSS4j processes it as null. instead it should process it as empty string of size 0 or throw exception as it does in case of username= null
> password= "   "// blank string with size>0
> Then it works fine.
> note: for password disgest empty password is replaced by default digest.
> It seems that the password is default initialized to null and is not being reinitialized if string size 0.
> Appropriate correction or exc4eption mechanism suggested
